Within, I look, I see, I feel your presence  
Without, I feel nothing, I see nothing, I become nothing  
It's you who carries me, it's you who lets me float,  
In your remembrance I exist,  
In your devotion, I rest  
  
You make me calm, you make me see myself  
The good, the evolution, the need to be,  
And in the same moment, the breath  
You tell me everything is nothing, oh holy flame  
What is this beauty that keeps surrendering?  
  
I am the seeker, I am the meaning  
I am you and you is me, and together we are formless  
Just a point in the entire Universe which is itself,  
is full  
in its own  
  
How can we fathom this truth with our minds and hearts?  
Give us the strength to understand this part -  
  
As we bow down to our own strengths and struggle,  
Lift us up so we can depart - depart from our own weaknesses  
and merge into the ocean of your only truth  
  
Make us find our purpose,  
make us realise the way we should be  
for we know not how long we have been  
and how long  
we shall be  
  
Oh, holy flame -  
you are kinder than the kindness we can internalise  
you are more loving than the love we could ever define  
you are humbler than humility itself  
  
how do we imbibe the entire You or how do we release  
everything that we must - to find you and become, you  
  
In gratitude, all I can offer is this moment of existence  
that you bestowed me with since the inception of time  
  
and in this holy debt all I now wish is to shine my light -  
brighter than ever before just to present it to you  
and celebrate your shrine
